Tepco Futsu 2000 MW Combined Cycle Power plant design features

The Tokyo Electric Power Company, Inc. Futsu Combined Cycle Power Generation plant is the World’s largest combined cycle power plant and when it enters commercial service in 1986 will be one of the most efficient. This plant will burn liquefied natural gas. Low heat rejection to cooling water, low sound level, low emissions and high stacks minimize the environmental impact of this large power generation plant. Features contributing to the ability of this plant to generate power economically and reliably while burning high cost fuel and producing minimum environmental impact are presented in this paper.Copyright

Taipower Tunghsiao STAG Combined Cycle Power Plant

Units 1 and 2 in the Tiawan Electric Power Co. (Taipower) are General Electric STAG 307E combined cycle systems with rated output of 570 MW. These combined cycle generation systems include high technology gas turbines, an unfired steam system with steam generation at two pressures and computer based control systems. The net plant thermal efficiency at the rating point is 45.3% on distillate oil and 44.8% on residual oil. Currently one of the six gas turbines is operating on residual oil and five are operating on distillate. When the residual oil conversion is complete, these will be the World’s most efficient residual oil fired power generation units. A description of the distinguishing features, construction and early operating history are presented.© 1984 ASME
